Thanks! I'm not surprised. That's how I learned English.

What algorithm are you using? I've been tempted to write a tuner using autocorrelation, because in my experience it picks up pitch wonderfully.

No. Although there is a 1.0 version APK floating around and that's what I use. It's pretty great.

True. I was happy when I switched to Android because Dvorak was available as an on screen keyboard. I didn't last for more than a day with it. Dvorak is terrible for on screen typing.

Do people work until 2 am on weekends? I've done it only occasionally, but if it's becoming a common thing, we should look into solving it, and not by having a 4th meal.

I've always been perplexed by those hours. Having a good breakfast, then having lunch between 2 and 4 seems much better (you can easily stretch that to make it after work, at 5:30 pm or so), as they do in Latin America. Then dinner is

> Theory is you are more likely to over eat a warm meal. Eating all your meals cold might be a reasonable approach to weight loss. Wait, did I just invent a new diet fad?

Well, Feynman tried that and failed. "Reportedly, Feynman’s ex alleged that he didn’t just ignore her when he felt she interrupted him—he “flew into a violent rage,” and “choked her, threw pieces of bric-a-brac about and smashed the fu

Along with the things mentioned in other comments, I would add lots of dictionaries, especially bilingual ones. We take words for granted, but so much of the shared experience of humanity is embedded in words themselves.

I understand, but why? Texas Instruments has a big catalog of cheap and DSP-capable chips.

But has it ever been possible to buy a Raspberry Pi at retail price? Ever since they were introduced, I have not been able to buy them at MSRP.

I love this idea. I've had to make this decision before (one or two passes). Now I'll do two passes for readability and stick this comment in my code: // Daddy, chill. Two passes are still O(N).

But they're pronounced very differently! I can understand the confusion with their/they're. This one? Not so much.

That's far from being only a Chrome problem. That extremely irritating behavior is going to be with us until OS developers see the light and we get hard/soft realtime GUIs.

It's a matter of tact. They could say, "Here are your 32GB RAM machines. Your old one? You get to keep it too. Make sure Chrome works perfectly on your old machine."

> Google made no attempt to be better than the competition. It's like they're unaware of anything other than themselves. This is the curse of Google products. They don't care about what the competion is doing.

How sophisticated was your system? It sounds like you used cutting edge NLP techniques at the time.

About 15 years ago, at JHU, I heard about an algorithm that detected a writer's gender with more than 90% of accuracy, and the NLP professor considered that problem solved.
